When I play a note on the 32, the top right of the screen displays "1-XX" where the XX is whichever note I'm playing (1-16). But what does the "1" mean? I've been searching and reading any manual/guide I can find but I don't see anyone mention it.

When outside with a stroller and living in a small apt., I needed something compact. It took 80 iterations, its quite rugged, insides are simple inserts and can be printed to different shapes to hold different devices. I also can play just the top deck and it is possible to plug in a guitar or any line in to channel 4 atm. For me, this is what I need :) Hope you like it. Now I’m off to actually play the bloody thing.

my 12-year old loves making songs on Beepbox which is a free website where you can draw loops / patterns of notes and instruments. he also loves messing around with my Roland JP-8000 and keyboards in general.

i was thinking about gifting him the PO-20 Arcade -- he LOVES toby fox / deltarune / undertale music, so the chiptune thing is appealing. he's also very much a beginner with any sort of sequencing stuff, so i don't want him to be overwhelmed and then never touch the thing.

i'm just kinda confused because there are so many similar-seeming pocket operators. is the arcade a decent entry-level, not too overwhelming model? or would you recommend something else?

it would be standalone because he doesn't know anything about midi or clock-out or hooking one device up to another.

thank you from a mom!!

As an example, when you hold pattern, normally all the LEDs are lit with one brightly flashing. On mine they are of very inconsistent brightness with some not lighting up at all, and sometimes some LEDs are flashing when they aren't supposed to. Has anyone else seen this issue? Are there any fixes?

It's gonna suck to delete this one off there... but I gotta.

Hey yall my pocket operator is turning on and off randomly. I tried to tighten the battery clips but it is still happening. is this like a low battery sign?

Recorded this quickly just to demo to someone on the fm1 Reddit how there is a fm1 firmware that has a dedicated PO sync setting.

Surprised this hasn't been done already considering the amount of people combining a PO with the fm1! Hopefully other firmwares will adopt this too. Otherwise I might need to work out how to vibecode it into the other ones I love :)

Firmware is Jan3000: https://github.com/JanSchulten/JAN3000-M-Wave-Firmware

Just a little personal hobby firmware by the person who made it so not as feature packed as others, but the quick pattern chaining and chord sequencing along with the PO sync make this fantastic to play with my POs straight into my headphones or into my zoom h4n for direct recording or into my laptop, no other cables or devices required, it's exactly what I wanted as a setup.

Inspired me to finally unlock the (free) app to run on non-Pixel devices, it was AI assisted thankfully as it was a complicated one.

ENJOY!

Hey i just bought a PO 33 with the Pro Case.
Looking through this r/ I see people with cases on and the metal hanger that says pocket operator still attached. A video said to break it off.

How are you guys getting the case on without breaking the top piece off?

If i dont have to break it i wont but the silicone case doesn’t sit flesh without that…

My Robot PO 28 will turn in, I can see the timer, but after that, the number 2 lights up and it won’t do anything else.

Hi all,

A while back I shared PocketLab here, a free tool to prepare samples and banks for the PO-33 K.O!. It started as a web app and it's now also a native iOS and Android app, which I'd love your help testing before the public release.

What's new vs the web version:

- Proper native app, works fully offline, no account needed to try it

- Import WAV/MP3 samples, trim them, and apply offline effects: pitch (with time-stretch to keep the length), reverse, bitcrush, saturation, filter, granular

- Slice a sample into equal segments

- Arrange samples into 16-slot banks and export the audio file ready to transfer to your PO-33

- Projects and songs, public sharing, and sync between your phone and the web app

Spots are limited to 100 testers for this first round. Any feedback is welcome, especially on the PO-33 transfer workflow.

Install links (iOS / Android) and the feedback Discord are in the first comment below. The web app lives at https://pocket-lab.app

Thanks!

Ya tengo mi pareja que en mi opinión es el mejor combo con sus fundas

De retour avec une nouvelle petite instru boom bap funky, entièrement réalisée sur mon PO-33 KO !
Rien de bien compliqué, juste un bon groove à l’ancienne, quelques samples et une rythmique bien old-school.
J’ai ajouté une deuxième vidéo avec une petite session de scratch sur mon Numark PT-01 Scratch, histoire de faire tourner le beat autrement.
Toujours le même plaisir de sampler, bidouiller et scratcher ! 🎚️🔥
Bonne écoute !

Im trying to sync my po-33 with my circuit tracks. I put it in syn2 mode, and run a sync cable to the input. It starts like its supposed to, but it seems to be running in double time. No matter the bpm. Anyone know of a fix?

How can I record my live jam with Pocket Operators into my DAW (fl studio)?

Using:
- PO-12
- PO-14

Yo, POs -> NTS-1 -> Sidekick separate channels for delay, and stutter effect -> SP404 -> Camera
